HMRC Messaging late returns
If the Messging is as accurate as the business dashboard then we could all be in a lot of trouble. I have been told already to ignore the figures on the dashboard by HMRC as they are incorrect. Ive also been told we owe money on one of the submissions when the figures they have are different from the copy of my submission and the fully reconciled payments.
Before they start to do this they should get their house in order and ensure their system is working properly, they already waste a huge amount of Companies time
Electronic messaging
Sounds good - but what form will these messages take? http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/news/electronic-notifications.htm states how they will be communicated to employers. I guess many employers will use payroll agents. Will agents be aware that a message has been sent and if so, how will it be dealt with? HMRC's page admits some commercial software might not be able to receive the messages. Do we know which products?
Sent via DPS
These messages are sent via the Data Provisioning Service (DPS), which is the same service that sends the electronic tax code and student loan messages, so you would pick the new messages up in the same way, assuming your payroll software supports the new message type.
Sage Payroll supports these messages and you can see them within the Secure Mailbox option.
